Test: Gigabyte Tegra Note – Le Journal du Geek

segments SoC mid and high end are pretty much dominated by Qualcomm and Snapdragon, the entry level is itself generally trustee by Chinese smelters. Under these conditions Nvidia’s hard to make a hole.

Damage to the firm Jsen Hsun Huang has yet quickly realized that mobility was a contract of utmost importance. But Nvidia has not said its last word and push the adoption of its processors, she decided to take matters into his own hand leaving tablet: Tegra Note. Well, not exactly.

id=”more-237398″/>
its slates, Nvidia will provide its partners with everything needed for they have just assemble and put their logo on it. In reality, we do not therefore have a Nvidia Tegra Note, but Gigabyte Tegra Note in our case, headed by Nvidia

This setting will allow the hardware hand to particularly aggressive pricing.: 199 euros. For that sweet price, you’ll get a fairly robust configuration, starting with a Tegra 4 1.8 GHz with four ARM Cortex A15 and 72 hearts graphics and 1GB of RAM, a 7-inch display of 1280 x 800 and 16 GB of storage expandable up to 32GB This little world is accompanied by a stylus, hence the rating, not Tab, as we imagined at the time when the tablet n ‘was still a rumor.

Slate is therefore not in excess, we must manage to keep prices low. It was understood, like the Nexus 7, Nvidia wants to offer the best possible value for money. Successful? Response in this test.

Design and finishing

As always when we want to offer aggressive pricing, the first reducing stations are obviously searching the design and materials. Unsurprisingly the Tegra Note adopts plastic to all floors. It will be all black. Note however the soft touch carved on the sides and in the center for better grip.

With its 199 x 119 x 9.6 mm for 320 grams, the tablet could be a bit lighter, but it is pretty well designed. An even more unfortunate that the plastic is not as heavy as aluminum weight. Despite the plastic could be more noble, the tablet is also well finished. Nothing protrudes. However, it criticized a handy Micro-USB (Host) not, it will take the hand to insert the cable.

We also found on the edge location for the stylus. The USB socket is struggling to return the pen has about it a little hard to get out, despite some small ribs for better grip finger, nail remains effective. Notice to onychophages. Ultimately, the design is not the strong point of the Tegra rating, but it is after all very logical.

Display and User Interface

The second concession is made by Nvidia looking at the screen. It measures 7 inches diagonally for a definition of 1280 x 800, which gives a resolution of around 215 ppi. The side of a Nexus 7 Full HD it may seem little, and it is. But the fact is that it is pretty good quality for two reasons: first, the panel uses IPS technology, and we have good viewing angles, the second is successful with well transcribed color calibration <. / p>

In terms of interface, Nvidia favorite Android or almost pure juice. We do not blame them that. This simplicity has another advantage: it allows Nvidia to quickly push new updates to its Tegra Note. It does not have to wait long weeks to qualify for the last upd Google. This is especially true since they are directly overseen by Nvidia and not his partner. This choice is probably one of the highlights of the Tegra Note.

Use and Pen

To distinguish themselves from the competition, NVIDIA opted for a home run by a technology called stylus Direct Stylus. Management it is directly integrated with the Tegra 4, and not by a third party technology as can be Wacom example. In the key, more precision, more responsiveness. This is certainly what the brand promises chameleon.

In practice, it is difficult to really comment on the accuracy and responsiveness without measurement tools specifically designed for this purpose, note that the stylus behaves admirably. It is thus surprising to see effectively manage pressure for traits more or less imbedded in the drawing application provided on the tablet.

In addition to this fun and frankly anecdotal when you are not designer aspect, the stylus will also allow to take notes, screenshots demarcated areas or highlight certain things of interest displayed on the screen. Nvidia has pretty much thought the stylus, the ability to ignore the inputs made to fingers proof.

Second sympathetic addition, a Micro HDMI will obviously allow you to copy the screen of your tablet on your TV or any other device with an HDMI input. The cable is not supplied in the box.

Performance and autonomy

If it was a point that Nvidia was expected to turn, it was obviously on performance, after all the Tegra 4 is the heart of this tablet. Unsurprisingly SoC quad core ARM Cortex-A15 1.8GHz behaves admirably despite one GB of RAM. No latency to predict.

This is just as well play again Nvidia proves its expertise in this area, 72 graphic cores hold the shock in all games tested. It’s even better with games optimized Tegra Zone that allow easy recognition.

But be careful not to take it easy too with the storage space is limited. Only 16 GB is provided and the extension will be limited to 32 GB, 48 GB which gives us the best. At a time when mobile games are becoming heavier and where movies are in high definition, it will fill up quickly.

Finally, there is autonomy, with its battery of 4100 mAh, Note the Tegra will do little more than 8 hours in the prevailing conditions. Damage.

Photo and

We saw 5 mpx sensors worse than the Tegra Note. The image is sometimes a bit faded, but nothing too much to meet outside. Indoors, the grain will also occur. Passing grade for the rear sensor. The minimum labor front will be enough for video, nothing more.

Nvidia has also taken care of the photo application. It is quite well put together and offers a lot of options for fun. Obviously it is not as complete as that of HTC M8 or a Nokia 1020, but still more than enough for the common man.

The audio output is provided by a trio of speakers, two front and one of them is special dedicated low. Nothing special to note, however. The tablet is certainly better than many competitors, but it will be sufficient to really listen to music.

Verdict

The value is the first argument of this Note Tegra. It is frankly difficult (impossible?) To find better at this price on the market. The stylus, whose interest could certainly be debated, is a distinctive feature that the brand has thought through and it is to his credit.

On the other hand blame autonomy slightly behind the lack of 3G connectivity could also put off some (a 4G model will be available later but not at the same price). This is even more true that small size is more mobile than definition 10-inch tablet for example. Note the Tegra does nevertheless a good deal for anyone looking for a cheap tablet, yet smaller than Nexus

Samsung Galaxy Note 4: output of a high-end concept – Gentside

Given the discretion to Samsung as its next phablette not surprising to see a number of concepts, all the more imaginative than the others. This time, the designer Simion Popa proposes a high-end device in the margins of current trends.

While the trend is curved and flexible displays, designer Simion Popa the origin of this concept has decided to move away for a Samsung Galaxy Note 4 to the more traditional design but also luxurious.

The aluminum body and glass facade of this concept gives it an elegant appearance, despite harsher angles since the designer has abandoned the rounded shape of the old Galaxy Note to a rectangular shape. The device is also extremely delicate.

On the hardware side, the designer did not skimp on resources. It has built a superb quad HD AMOLED screen of 5.7 inches. He also added a photo sensor 21 megapixel rear camera with an aperture diaphragm f / 1,8 and 8 megapixel sensor on the front. The fingerprint reader, as to him, was placed on the home button

Exit TouchWiz way to a new interface. Redesigned, it is now more refined and displays the features and apps of phablette with clarity.

No doubt this upscale design will silence for a time, critics overlooked finishes plastics some Samsung devices.
